Wow thanks for sharing. One of the intesting things I found, only 20 years and already temples in some of those areas. Just shows how receptive many of the people are there to the gospel.

I was hoping to recognize someone from the picture in the article, but alas, they were all after my time.
 The 4 missionaries who first served in Bulgaria were "legends" in our mission. I always pictured them (from the stories and memories of the members--and I was only there 2 years after they were) as Superman looking--muscular body, fists on hips, standing tall with perfect posture...although they didn't wear tights, but the missionary uniform.

I think the guy on the far left is a former mission president, but I'm not sure which one.
If they announce a temple for Bulgaria, I will definitely be going back! I was hoping to get to visit next year, but I don't think we'll be able to afford it yet. Last time I was there was in 2008 and I miss it.
